What is one thing that really excited you?
I was excited when trying my prototype for DnT to see if it worked.

What are some of the things you can design around you? How would you use the Design Thinking Process? How could you use the creative thinking tools to make your ideas more unique?
I can help to decorate and plan the design of my house or bedroom. I can find out more about the area of concern about the current design and analyse the problem. I will then plan out my design, make a prototype and test it. I can make a checklist of the decorations I want and work on it.

How would you use what you have learnt to make life better for yourself and others?
I can make a checklist of the needs of my user and what I have to include in the design. I can control my time wisely so that I will be able to finish my prototype in time for my user. This would benefit the user as they would be able to get their design faster. It would also make life better for me as I would not need to keep modifying the design.

Art Animation Exercise 2 (Khoo An Ying and Lim Sui Yee, Class 105)

# data[].attributes.body
Art Stop-motion activity

# data[].attributes.body
From all the demonstrations, I learnt more about the different mechanisms, how to use them and what their pros and cons are. I also learnt about the history of Singapore and the people that lived here in the past.
I applied some elements from these two projects to my Bicentennial Souvenir. For the gears, to reduce friction, I left a gap between the gear and the board. I also used a wheel with cardboard pieces sticking out from around the surface in my project to transport the ball.
My favourite product is Hilary and Sui Yee's product. I feel that their product is quite unique as it is not just made up of mechanisms, but also has a deep and meaningful story behind it. The product also looks quite colourful as they have decorated it with interesting pictures, that also help to tell the story better. It also functions quite smoothly, though the pulley can be improved.

I think their project is very well done as their mechanisms are done nicely. They used a linkage in their design. The pros of this mechanism is that it is easy and fast to manufacture. The cons of this mechanism is that the screws for each corner might tear the surface of the board. This problem can be solved by sticking scotch tape on the surface of the board where the screws would be in contact with. one way to improve their project is to add more colours to the board so that it is more aesthetic and colourful.

1. Hilary and Sui Yee
I think that their project is very creative as they told a story about Singapore's history through the use of mechanisms and pictures. They used a pulley for the first part of their Goldberg machine. The pros of this mechanism is that it is easy to make. The cons are that the pulley needed quite a lot of weight to move, possibly due to the friction  between the pulley and the board. one way to resolve this problem is to leave a small gap between the pulley and the board. one way to improve is to use heavier weights for the pulley so that it will move more easily. Another alternative from the pulley would be a wheel with different sections separated by cardboard pieces sticking out from around the surface of the wheel.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
My proudest moment was when I received positive remarks about the art animation activity that my partner and I completed.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
My greatest challenge was to complete my art animation activity in the given time, especially making the materials, because I took a lot of time to draw and cut the props so that they would look nicer.

What can I do to improve?
I think that I could be more efficient when doing the activities. for example, I should have divided the tasks between me and my partner so that we can save time.

Creativity: I want to be able to think out of the box to create unique stop-motion videos that people enjoy watching.

Expression: I hope to be able to express the theme or mood of a film or a particular scene through my stop-motion videos, such as by changing the type of shot.

Project Management: I want to be able to think of ideas, make the materials needed, take the pictures of each shot and put them together efficiently.

I think that I achieved my goals as i was able to stay on track and get the video journal done on time.

Creativity: I wish to be able to come up with a unique prototype my user is satisfied with. To do this, i will try to find out as much about the user as i can to understand their preferences.

Project Management: I wish to be able to control my time wisely so that I can finish my prototype on time. To do this, I will focus on my work and not get distracted.

Expression: I will empathise with the user whose problem my group is solving in our project. i will ask her at least 3 open-ended questions to understand her.

With respect to my goals, what was my proudest moment?
(Eg 1. My proudest moment was when my composition was impactful - it has an emotional effect on the performers and/or the listeners.
Eg 2. I could use my composition for a purpose (such as a phone ringtone) or event (Chinese New Year celebrations)
When I was able to compose and play my composition well and with creativity and my classmates applauded my group.

With respect to my goals, what was my greatest challenge?
(eg. The greatest challenge was to be different from other groups as there is temptation to copy others.)

The greatest challenge was to create a rhythm that was unique and able to have an emotional effect on others.

What can I do to improve?
(eg. To encourage my team members to give their best, and get every member to be fully involved in the group project.)

I can ask my peers and teacher for feedback and assistance so that I am able to get a better understanding of what I am doing wrongly and improve myself next time.

The sounds of the environment (folly) and digital sounds are elements that can be used in a musical composition. Describe your sound scape and explain how the elements are manipulated to express feelings and ideas.

I observed the expressions of the characters and their actions to decide what mood my sound effects should be. i used many different sounds of different mood to make the video more realistic. I also adjust the volume of the sound effects to adjust the mood. Different feelings can also be expressed by using different sound effects with varying volume to change the mood to suit the video.

1. Rhythm
Describe how you have demonstrated your ability to create rhythm using Percussion Instruments/other obejcts.
We had to work in groups and organise ourselves so that our music piece would be neat and not messy with everyone playing wrongly. We had to come up with rhythms and combine them to create a harmonious piece of music.
I learnt that we can take any thought and create a simple rhythm with it.

2. Melody
Explain how your understanding of the use of scales has helped you to create Melody.
I am able to use a set of scales to create a melody. The scales of the melody can affect how the melody sounds like, such as the mood of the melody. different melodies have different pitch which can make the melody sound lively or sad. the speed and volume which we play the scales also changes the mood of the melody. when playing our scales, we have to be focused as we may mess up our scales with other peoples scales, especially when playing in a group, and the melody will sound very messy and unorganised.

3. Chords
Explain how your understanding of the use of chords has help you to create accompaniment and melody.
Chords contain three notes and the different chords can give the melody and accompaniment very different moods. we can use chords to create a rhythm, then make use of the rhythm and mood to create a melody and accompaniment. the chords are important and the pitch and mood of our chords affects the melody and accompaniment. the accompaniment must be fitting for the melody and make it sound more harmonious instead of messy.

Creativity: I want to be able to think of original rhythms spontaneously and perform it well.
(eg. I want to be able to think out of the box and be more original in my compositions.)

Expression: I hope to be able to express a theme through the pitch, tone and speech of my music composition after learning more about music.
(eg.I hope to be able to express my feelings and thoughts through my music  composition after understanding the elements of music.)

Project Management: I want to be able to come up with a original and extraordinary piece of music in a short time and listen attentively to other people's compositions so as to learn from them.
(eg. I want to be able to use my time efficiently to give the the best composition within the given timeframe, and to continuously improve as much as I can)
